The award-winning C-SPAN School Bus, a 45-foot mobile television production studio and demonstration center, will stop in Deglman Circle at Creighton University on Friday, June 16, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Creighton’s Upward Bound students will be invited onboard the Bus to learn about the network’s programming goals and the importance of developing critical viewing techniques.

The C-SPAN staff will provide tours of the bright yellow bus for an up-close look at the “studio on wheels” and learn about the network’s varied public affairs programming.

On Thursday, June 15, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the C-SPAN School Bus will visit the W. Dale Clark Branch of the Omaha Public Library at 215 S. 15th St.
